The Walking Dead (AMC)

[D-Dogg]

Oh, Carol.

 

[D-Dogg]

Dude, after they roll through this whole "inside prison is dangerous as outside" and figure out the cure or whatevs for this threat...what I want to see is:

ZOMBIE EVOLUTION!!!

Seriously, they have little effing bungee clips holding up the fence? I'd love to see the zombies start to evolve a tiny bit of intelligence...start fiddling with those things. Maybe as they get hungrier they get more lucid or something...not get really smart and tactical, but enough to take away this safe stuff the survivors have gotten used to.

It happened with Romero's ghouls. One even remembered how to use a gun.

That movie never existed. Never existed! Not because of the evolution bit, but because it was so incredibly awful. And no one can turn left and just drive up the side of Mount Washington. No one!

Not talking about Land of the Dead. Bub in Day of the Dead used a gun.

Oh, I don't think I saw that remake. My bad.

 

[NJCardFan]

Oh, I don't think I saw that remake. My bad.

It's not a remake. It's the 3rd installment in the series:

Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Day of the Dead

Oh, and this being Bub:

Oh, crikey! I forgot that part! Wow, it's been a long time. Good call.

 

[Bada0Bing]

Daryll gonna be pissed.

Exactly what I was thinking. Tyreese too.

 

[NJCardFan]

Been a bad season for the survivors of Woodbury.

 

[Stout]

*Sigh* Just when I think the season's getting interesting, the stupidity comes back. I can sense the show writers twirling mustaches and congratulating themselves on such a great twist--while in reality, I know I'm only one of many blasting their stupid, idiotic decision. Let--it--go--show--writers! Sheesh!

Are you familiar with the comics? Even though the show hasn't been 100% spot on with the comics, the way things ended last season is not how the governor goes out.

What happened to the two guys who were with the governor....

Exactly, the governor needs to fall with the prison. BTW, I think Captain America is the only comic he reads.

Nope. They just really, really played that storyline out as far as it could go last season. Just when it finally got too annoying to stand any more, they put an awesome button on it. Perfect. And now he comes back as the sinister evil man behind the prison's problems. Pathetic writing. Just put a black hat on him, have him twist a giant handlebar mustache, and giggle while he steeples his fingers. It'd be just as cheesy.

Yeah, sorry, wrong again. I don't read comic books. I accept your apology--again

No, I haven't missed the Governor at all...but I knew he'd be back at some point. They have to wrap up his storyline.

I hope it doesn't derail the season, considering that it's been quite stellar so far.

They wrapped it up perfectly last season. It doesn't have to be live/die, win/lose. Fading away after throwing away your power would have been quite fitting.

 

[Stout]

And now it nosedives into utter crap once more. Man, I was enjoying this season, but I knew this was coming. We have something compelling going--so we're just going to go back to the cheesy villain and completely ignore everything that's going on to backtrack on a storyline which should have died away after last season.

I may not even make it through the episode, let alone the rest of the season.

 

[PDXChris]

Awesome episode so far. It is straight from the book, The Rise of the Governor. I am glad to see them be able t use content from that book. It feels like they are attempting to give us loyal readers of the books and comics a bonus. I love it.

It feels like ruining the story for those of us who haven't. It's poor story telling form too--bad writing. If they wanted to do this, don't give an entire episode of the black hat's back story. Just a giant, boring hiccup from my POV.

Then stop watching. For a show you complain so much about, you sure seem to care too much about it.

Because it keeps giving glimpses of brilliance and it is rather fun in stretches. I stuck out the first half of season 2, which sucked hard core, and I'm glad I did. I'm hoping this lone episode is just a blip rather than a trend. If it sticks with just this storyline next week, though, I'll probably be done. You don't just do a bunch of episodes and then drop all story lines like a hot potato. Stupid.

Oh, and what else is on Sunday nights right now? Downton Abbey is done until the Christmas special, and Almost Human (with a good pilot) is actually a Monday night show.

Seems to me you're in the minority my friend. The show is more about the characters. This episode was one of the best in the entire series. It almost made you like the Governor seeing the human side of him, the good that's still in him(sorry for the Darth Vader reference). Nice character study to be honest.
